- The connector has a detachable plug part. Grab the top of the connector with plyers and carefully pull it out. This will make attaching the wire much easier
|
||||||
|
- Connect **A connector to A connector and B to B**. (they are not Tx/Rx like in many other serials)
|
||||||
|
- **NOTE:** After reading quite a few forum posts, many RS-485 adapters seem to have printed the A and B the wrong way, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case with Pingvin too.
|
||||||
|
- Plug the plug back to the Pingvin motherboard and close the cover and screws

|
- Reconnect mains and switch both devices onhttps://doc.enervent.com/op/op.ViewOnline.php?documentid=940&version=1
|
||||||
|
- Mixing A and B should be safe and won't break anything, but the daemon won't work. If that's the case, disconnect powers again and switch the wires on the RPi.

### Home Assistant
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- There are so many variations for HASS configs, that definite instructions are hard to do.
|
||||||
|
- All the YAMLs are intended to be copy-pasted to `configuration.yaml` (or files included to configuration.yaml)
|
||||||
|
- Change the IP address, port, username and password according to your configuration
|
||||||
|
- Restart Home Assistant (A full reload doesn't seem to be enough for all REST integration features to update)
